Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's plates interact. The Pacific Ring of Fire is a particularly active region, encircling the Pacific Ocean and experiencing frequent seismic activity due to subduction zones, transform faults, and rift zones. Other notable areas include the Himalayan region and the Mediterranean-Asian seismic belt. However, earthquakes can also occur in intraplate regions, away from plate boundaries, though these are less common.

Do earthquakes happen near the equator?
